SUMMARY: The Floyd County Sheriff’s Department in Kentucky has military-grade trucks ready for emergency use during flooding. These trucks, not owned by the department but available for use, are equipped with supplies and can navigate high water, making them invaluable for rescue operations. Sheriff John Hunt emphasized their importance, noting that the trucks are more efficient than boats for reaching flood-affected areas quickly. The department has three such trucks on standby, which were also used during February flooding. They are prepped and stocked, ready to assist in case of future emergencies, with local support ensuring their availability.

The Floyd County Sheriff’s Office has been preparing in a unique way to help out for potential water rescues during severe weather.
